When playing DTS-encoded (CDs, LDs, DVDs), excessive noise will be exhibited  
from the analog stereo outputs. To avoid possible damage to the audio system,  
the consumer should take proper precautions when the analog stereo outputs of  
the DVD player is connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital  
Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder  
system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink)

DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on  
CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be decoded and played  
back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this reason, when DTS-encoded  
software is played back through the analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player,  
excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid possible damage to the audio system,  
proper precautions should be taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are  
connected directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™  
playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must  
be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD

Configuration of MP3 discs  
The group is the largest unit composing the music  
in an DVD AUDIO disc. Each group is composed  
of multiple tracks, and each track is composed of  
multiple indices.  
The folder is the storage unit at the highest level in the  
disc. Sometimes a single folder contains more than one  
file, or sometimes files are recorded directly in the disc  
in place of being included in a folder. Some discs also  
have a hierarchical structure in which a folder includes  
sub-folders. Note that the file numbers are not assigned  
on a per-folder basis but they are assigned consecutively  
for all the files in the whole disc.  
÷ When power is switched on, the unit starts  
detection of discs in the stocker (“DETECTION” is  
displayed during this).  
When discs have been detected, the unit automatically  
reads TOC on discs (“READING” is displayed during  
this) then starts playback.

Chapter 6 : Specifying and Using Disc or Track Data  
6-1 Introduction  
Thanks to sophisticated design and onboard memory storage, your DVD mega-changer can read and store additional information about the discs you load, enabling you to  
choose discs by title information rather than just disc position.  
This memory feature means you don’t have to remember what disc is stored in which slot or spend time creating a list of what you’ve loaded.  
Here’s how it works: every disc has a Table of Contents code embedded in it. The changer reads this code and associates with it any other information that it reads or that you  
enter for the disc. It stores the information internally so that when you load or play the disc, the changer still contains the disc and track titles (among other things).  
÷ Your DVD changer will recall information read in at the time of registration even when the disc insertion place is changed.  
÷ Your changer stores this information for up to 420 discs, which allows you to rotate discs between the changer and another CD player without losing any information read.  
This chapter is composed of the following sections.

from all speakers reach the listening position at the same timing. (The delay time adjustment is available  
only with Dolby Digital.)  
Before starting the speaker setting, see the following figure and measure distance A of the center speaker  
(A = Df - Dc) and distance B for the surround speakers (B = Df - Ds). The standard delay time settings can  
be identified based on these values and the following tables.

8-4 Glossary  
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) : DVD VIDEO is a disc  
featuring high video/audio quality, made possible by  
large recording capacity of video and audio signals of  
movie software, etc. and by digital signal processing. DVD  
AUDIO has been desired to provide even higher audio  
quality than DVD VIDEO by using high-bit, high  
sampling rate processing.  
Quantization bit : The quantization bit count refers to  
the number used in digitizing the sliced parts obtained  
by slicing the analog signal as described above. The  
quantization bit count is the number of bits used in  
digitization per second. The original sound can be  
reproduced more faithfully when the quantization bit  
count is larger.  
Chapter/Chapter No. (DVD VIDEO) : The chapter is a  
partition of video or audio that is smaller than the title.  
A title is composed of multiple chapters. The numbers  
assigned to the chapters are referred to as chapter  
numbers.  
Group/Group No. (DVD AUDIO) : The group is the  
largest unit of the contents in DVD AUDIO. Usually, a  
group corresponds to an album. The numbers assigned  
to the groups are referred to as group numbers.  
VIDEO CD (VCD) : This is a CD containing moving  
picture. By compressing video data to about 1/120 and  
audio data to about 1/6, a 12 cm disc with the same size  
as ordinary music CD can store moving pictures and  
audio for up to about 74 minutes.  
The VCD includes the P.B.C.-incompatible discs with only  
the playback capability (Version 1.1) and P.B.C.-  
compatible discs with the menu playback and special  
playback capabilities (Version 2.0)  
Linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): Audio signal  
format without using compression. In the DVD which  
has a very large disc capacity, the linear PCM signal using  
high sampling rate can be recorded.  
Track/Track No. (DVD AUDIO, VCD, CD) : The track  
is a partition of audio (such as a piece of music or music  
chapter) in a disc. These partitions are numbered and  
the numbers are referred to as track numbers. While a  
track usually corresponds to a piece of music with DVD  
AUDIO or ordinary music CD, the partitions of contents  
and track numbers are not always corresponding with  
VCD. As a result, while all of the playback operations  
including track skipping and programming of ordinary  
music CD are based on the track number information,  
such operations may sometimes be unavailable with  
VCD.  
Packed PCM : The packed PCM (P.PCM) signal is  
obtained by compressing the linear PCM signal featuring  
large data amount and high sampling rate. With this  
compression, the signal before compression can be  
restored perfectly.  
MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) (DVD, VCD) :  
A digital video and audio compression and  
decompression system which is standardized as an  
international standard.  
Bitstream (DVD) : This is the generic name given for  
the flow of data based on a standard such as Dolby  
Digital, DTS, MPEG, etc.  
Dolby Digital : A digital audio compression technology  
developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It is compatible  
with 5.1-channel surround audio as well as 2-channel  
stereo, and capable of recording a large amount of audio  
data efficiently in a disc.  
Decoder : A device for restoring standard audio signal  
from audio data recorded based on coding into DVD  
data, etc. This processing is referred to as decoding.  
AVTT (Audio Video Title): Part of DVD AUDIO that  
contains moving pictures. The audio language, subtitle  
language and viewing angles in this part can be switched  
by the user.  
Downmixing : Conversion of multichannel audio  
signals of DVD or DTS-CD into 2-channel stereo signals.  
DTS : Digital surround system developed by Digital  
Theater Systems, Inc.  
AOTT (Audio Only Title): Part of DVD AUDIO that  
contains audio and still pictures. The audio language and  
still pictures in this part can be switched by the user.  
Sampling rate : Sampling refers to converting an analog  
signal into digital signal by slicing the analog signal into  
fine parts at a certain time interval and digitizing every  
sliced part. The sampling rate is the count of slicing per  
second. The original sound can be reproduced more  
faithfully when the sampling rate is higher.  
Title/Title No. (DVD VIDEO) : The title is the largest  
unit of video or audio recorded in DVD VIDEO. Usually,  
a title corresponding to a movie product with video  
software or an album (or a piece of music) with music  
software. The numbers assigned to the titles are referred  
to as title numbers.  
Subtitle language (DVD): Some DVDs contain the  
recording of multiple subtitle languages. This player  
allows the user to select desired one of the recorded  
subtitle languages during playback of such a DVD.  
Angle (DVD): Some DVDs contain the recording of  
multiple viewing angles. This player allows the user to  
select desired one of the recorded angles during playback  
of such a DVD.

Audio language (DVD): Some DVDs contain the  
recording of multiple audio languages. This player allows  
the user to select desired one of the recorded audio  
languages during playback of such a DVD.  
IPB display (DVD) : With the MPEG2 which is one of  
the video display methods of DVD, each picture is divided  
into the following three picture types before being coded  
in digital signal.  
Progressive scanning : This is a TV screen scanning  
method, which scans a screen in order of scanning lines  
from the first scanning line.  
It can reduce image flickering in still images containing  
characters, graphics and horizontal lines.  
Aspect ratio : The ratio between the horizontal and  
vertical sizes of picture displayed on a TV screen. The  
aspect ratio of ordinary TV is 4:3, and that of widescreen  
TV is 16:9.  
I-picture (Intra coded) : This is the standard video  
and can constitute a picture by itself. As the highest  
picture quality can be obtained, the still image of I-  
picture is most suitable for use when adjusting the  
picture quality.  
Interlace scanning : This is a TV screen scanning  
method, which scans a screen by dividing it into two  
fields. It begins scanning with the odd number scanning  
lines then proceed to the scanning of even number  
scanning lines to display a single image by making use  
of the persistence of residual image.  
Pan & scan (DVD) : Method of displaying a  
horizontally-long picture recorded in 16:9 aspect ratio  
on a 4:3 TV screen by trimming part of picture. In general,  
the trimming positions for pan & scan are determined  
uniformly by the reproducing device. However, the pan  
& scan of DVD allows the software producer to specify  
the trimming positions to be used in playback.  
P-picture (Predictive coded) : Picture calculated  
based on past pictures (I-picture or B-picture).  
This method is applied in the previous TV formats.  
B-picture (Bidirectionally predictive coded) :  
Picture calculated by comparing the previous and next  
pictures (I-pictures or P-pictures). This picture type  
contains least amount of video information.  
Multi Session : With CD recording, a session refers to  
an area composed of three recording areas including the  
lead-in area (which indicates the location of data), data  
area and lead-out (which indicates the end of session).  
A CD containing more than one session in a disc is  
referred to as a multi-session disc.  
Letterbox (DVD) : Method of displaying a horizontally-  
long picture recorded in 16:9 aspect ratio on a 4:3 TV  
screen by attaching bands at the top and bottom of the  
screen and displaying the horizontally-long picture at  
the center of screen.  
P.B.C. (PlayBack Control) (VCD) : VIDEO CDs  
carrying messages such as "Playback Control Capable"  
can be played interactively by selecting the desired play  
position or information in hierarchical structures while  
watching the menus displayed on the TV screen.  
Frame (DVD, VCD) : Each frame of a moving picture,  
that is displayed 30 times a second with NTSC and 25  
times a second with PAL. These TV formats reproduce  
moving pictures by displaying still pictures sequentially.  
OSD (On-Screen Display) : OSD is a method of  
interactive operations using the menus and icons  
displayed on the TV screen.  
On-Screen Message : Message displayed on the TV  
screen when an operation is performed.  
Field (DVD, VCD) : Part of a frame obtained by dividing  
the video data of each frame by two. Each frame of  
ordinary TV is constitute by displaying the fields  
alternately.  
Downconversion : Conversion of PCM signal with high  
sampling rate such as 96 kHz and 192 kHz into a signal  
with a sampling rate of 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz.  
Frame still/Field still (DVD, VCD) : Types of still pictures  
obtained by temporarily stopping a moving picture. The  
frame still picture may produce blur in the picture because  
it displays two specific fields alternately, but the picture  
quality is higher. The field still picture has lower picture  
quality because it uses half the picture information of frame  
still, but is not accompanies with picture blur.  
Dynamic range : Difference between the minimum  
reproducible audio signal and maximum reproducible  
audio signal.
